TCP Operation
• IP is best effort delivery.
• The transport layer (TCP) is responsible reliability and flow control
•
•
from source to destination.
This is accomplished using:
– sliding windows (flow control)
– sequencing numbers and acknowledgments (reliability)
– synchronization (establish a virtual circuit)
Note: Although straight-forward in its operation, TCP can be a very
complicated protocol in its operation. Most of the details regarding
TCP are beyond the scope of this module and presentation.

TCP
• TCP -- a connection-oriented, reliable protocol; provides flow control
•
•
by providing sliding windows, and reliability by providing sequence
numbers and acknowledgments.
TCP re-sends anything that is not received and supplies a virtual
circuit between end-user applications.
The advantage of TCP is that it provides guaranteed delivery of the
segments.

• For a connection to be established, the two end stations must
•
•
•
synchronize on each other's initial TCP sequence numbers (ISNs).
Sequence numbers are used to track the order of packets and to
ensure that no packets are lost in transmission.
The initial sequence number is the starting number used when a TCP
connection is established.
Exchanging beginning sequence numbers during the connection
sequence ensures that lost data can be recovered.

Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks
•
•
•
DoS attacks are a common method that hackers utilize to
halt system response.
One type of DoS is known as SYN flooding.
SYN flooding exploits the normal three-way handshake
and causes targeted devices to ACK to source addresses
that will not complete the handshake.

DoS Syn Flooding Attack
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hacker initiates a synchronization but spoofing the source IP address.
– Spoofing: using another’s IP address, real or not (one meaning)
The receiving device replies to the non-existent, (SYN ACK)
Receiving device places process in a wait state while waiting to receive the final
ACK from the initiator.
The waiting request is placed in a connection queue or a holding area in
memory.
This waiting state requires the attacked device to commit system resources,
such as memory, to the waiting process until the connection timer times out.
Hackers will flood the attacked host with these false SYN requests utilizing all of
its connection resources to respond and wait for false connections, preventing it
from responding to legitimate connection requests.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
13
DoS Syn Flooding Attack
•
•
To defend against these attacks, system administrators
may decrease the connection timeout period and increase
the connection queue size (not recommended).
Software also exists that can detect these types of attacks
and initiate defensive measures.
Rick Graziani [email protected]

For more information… (Cisco)
•
If a flood of incoming request packets have invalid source IP addresses, sessions never
get established and remain as half-open connections. Many TCP implementations are
only able to handle a small number of outstanding connections per port therefore these
ports are effectively unavailable until the half-open connections time-out (typically 75
seconds). Additionally this attack may also cause the server to exhaust its memory or
waste processor cycles in maintaining state information on these connections.
• Firewall vendors such as Checkpoint, Cisco, and Raptor have incorporated features into
their products to shield your downstream systems from SYN attacks.

Windowing and Window Sizes
• Both of these are example of simple windowing.
• This is not an example of sliding windows.
• Window size refers to the number of bytes that are transmitted before
•
•
receiving an acknowledgment.
After a host transmits the window-size number of bytes, it must receive
an acknowledgment before any more data can be sent.
The window size determines how much data the receiving station can
accept at one time.

Data (if any)
• TCP is responsible for breaking data into segments.
• With a window size of 1, each segment carries only one byte of data
•
•
and must be acknowledged before another segment is transmitted.
This results in inefficient host use of bandwidth.
The purpose of windowing is to improve flow control and reliability.
Unfortunately, with a window size of 1, you see a very inefficient use of
bandwidth.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
17
Simple Windowing
TCP Window Size
• TCP uses a window size, number of bytes, that the receiver is willing to
accept, and is usually controlled by the receiving process.
• TCP uses expectational acknowledgments, meaning that the
acknowledgment number refers to the next byte that the sender of the
acknowledgement expects to receive.
• A larger window size allows more data to be transmitted pending
acknowledgment.
• Note: The sequence number being sent identifies the first byte of data
in that segment.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
18
Simple Windowing
TCP Full-duplex service: Independent Data Flows
• TCP provides full-duplex service, which means data can be flowing in
each direction, independent of the other direction.
• Window sizes, sequence numbers and acknowledgment numbers are
independent of each other’s data flow.
• Receiver sends acceptable window size to sender during each
segment transmission (flow control)
– if too much data being sent, acceptable window size is reduced
– if more data can be handled, acceptable window size is increased
• This is known as a Stop-and-Wait windowing protocol.

Sliding Window Protocol
•
Sliding window algorithms are a method of flow control for network data
transfers using the receivers Window size.
• The sender computes its usable window, which is how much data it can
immediately send.
• Over time, this sliding window moves to the right, as the receiver acknowledges
data.
• The receiver sends acknowledgements as its TCP receive buffer empties.
• The terms used to describe the movement of the left and right edges of this
sliding window are: (These will be demonstrated in the following slides.)
1. The left edge closes (moves to the right) when data is sent and acknowledged.
2. The right edge opens (moves to the right) allowing more data to be sent. This
happens when the receiver acknowledges a certain number of bytes received.
3. The middle edge opens (moves to the right) as data is sent, but not yet
acknowledged.

ACK 4
Host B gives Host A a window size of 6 (octets or bytes).
Host A begins by sending octets to Host B: octets 1, 2, and 3 and slides
it’s window over showing it has sent those 3 octets.
Host A will not increase its usable window size by 3, until it receives an
ACKnowldegement from Host B that it has received some or all of the
octets.
Host B, not waiting for all of the 6 octets to arrive, after receiving the
third octet sends an expectational ACKnowledgement of “4” to Host A.

Host A does not have to wait for an acknowldegement from Host B to keep
sending data, not until the window size reaches the window size of 6, so it
sends octets 4 and 5.
 Host A receives the acknowledgement of ACK 4 and can now slide its window
over to equal 6 octets, 3 octets sent – not ACKed plus 3 octets which can be
sent asap.

Sequencing numbers
This is only if one octet
was sent at a time.
•
The data segments being transmitted must be reassembled once all the data is
received.
• No guarantee that the data will arrive in the order it was transmitted.
• TCP applies sequence numbers to the data segments
• Sequencing numbers indicate to the destination device the correct order in
which to put the bytes when they are received.
• These sequencing numbers also act as reference numbers so that the receiver
will know if it has received all of the data.
• They also identify the missing data pieces to the sender so it can retransmit the
missing data.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
27
Technical FYI on Sequencing numbers
Part of
TCP
Header
•
•
•
Sender: The value in the sequence number is the first byte in the data stream.
Question: How does the receiver know how much data was sent, so it knows what value
to send in the acknowledgement?
Receiver: Using the sender’s IP packet and TCP segment information, the value of the
ACK is:
IP Packet Length (IP): Total length – Header length
- TCP header length (TCP): Header length
------------------------------------------------Length of data in TCP segment
ACK = Last Sequence Number ACKed + Length of data in TCP segment
•
•
Check Sequence Number to check for missing segments and to sequence out-of-order
segments.
Remember that the ACK is for the sequence number of the byte you expect to receive.
When you ACK 101, that says you've received all bytes through 100. This ignores
Selective Acknowledgments or SACK.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
28
Positive Acknowledgment and
Retransmission (PAR)
•
•
•
PAR: The source sends a packet, starts a timer, and waits
for an acknowledgment before sending the next packet.
If the timer expires before the source receives an
acknowledgment, the source retransmits the packet and
starts the timer over again.
TCP uses expectational acknowledgments in which the
acknowledgment number refers to the next octet that is
expected.
Rick Graziani [email protected]
29
UDP
UDP Operation
• UDP does not use windowing or acknowledgments so application layer
•
•
protocols must provide error detection.
The Source Port field is an optional field used only if information needs
to return to the sending host.
When a destination router receives a routing update, the source router
is not requesting anything so nothing needs to return to the source.
– This is regarding only RIP updates.
– BGP uses TCP, IGRP is sent directly over IP. EIGRP and OSPF are
also sent directly over IP with their own way of handling reliability.

• Application software developers have agreed to use the well-known

port numbers that are defined in RFC 1700.
For example, any conversation bound for an Telnet application uses the
standard port number 23.

Port Numbers
•
•
•
•
•
Conversations that do not involve an application with a well-known port number
are, instead, assigned port numbers that are randomly selected from within a
specific range.
These port numbers are used as source and destination addresses in the TCP
segment.
Some ports are reserved in both TCP and UDP, although applications might
not be written to support them.
(Curriculum) Port numbers have the following assigned ranges:
– Numbers below 255 are reserved for public applications
– Numbers from 255-1023 are assigned to companies for marketable
applications
– Numbers above 1023 are unregulated
(RFC) The range for assigned ports managed by the IANA is 0-1023.:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
– The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. (This is updated
information as of 11-13-2002. Before then, 0 – 255 were considered well
known ports.)
– The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151
– The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535
Rick Graziani [email protected]

•
The Well Known Ports are assigned by the IANA and on
most systems can only be used by system (or root)
processes or by programs executed by privileged users.
The Registered Ports are listed by the IANA and on most
systems can be used by ordinary user processes or
programs executed by ordinary users. The IANA registers
uses of these ports as a convenience to the community.
The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152
through 65535
